Machine-readable does not mean digital. A PDF price list is digital and useless to a machine: extracting a price means guessing where the columns are.
Machine-readable means every field has a name and a fixed place, and numbers are numbers. In practice that is CSV, XML and JSON.
Which columns make sense
The minimum is item identity and price, but a price list that actually gets used usually carries more:
- The item code, ideally the same one used in the ERP, and a barcode if one exists.
- Name and category, because whoever reads the list rarely also has your catalogue.
- Price with and without tax, so nobody has to guess which is which, plus a currency code.
- A flag for whether the item is discounted, and the 30-day low where it exists.
- The item's address in the store, so any row can be checked in one click.
Why a daily export rather than a one-off file
A price list exported by hand goes stale the same day, and whoever received it has no way to know. A daily export at a permanent address solves both.
A per-day archive adds what you do not notice until you need it: the ability to show later what cost what on which day.
What to watch for in CSV
Two things usually break a Croatian CSV: the field separator, and a decimal comma combined with that same separator, which quietly turns one thousand two hundred into one point two.
So in a machine-facing price list numbers use a decimal point and no thousands separator, fields are separated by semicolons, and the encoding is UTF-8.
Frequently asked questions
- Is publishing a PDF enough?
- For reading by eye yes, for processing no. A PDF forces retyping or guesswork, and both introduce errors.
- Does the price list have to be public?
- It depends on the purpose. A buyer-facing list makes sense public; one agreed with a single supplier can sit at an unpublished address.
- How often should it refresh?
- Once a day covers most needs. Stores changing prices several times a day export more often, but then the file must never be served while it is being written.
